DE: Anlässlich der Bundesgartenschau 1971 waren unter anderem auch die Partnerstädte Kölns (Liverpool, Kyoto, Tunis und Turku) eingeladen in den Messehallen auf jeweils etwa 30qm während der Hauptausstellung vom 3. Mai bis 15 September 1971 ihre Gartenkunst auszustellen. In Halle 7 befand sich der Kyotoer Garten, für den drei Gartenarchitekten zuständig waren. 15 größere Steinblöcke, eine Menge importierter Kiesel und eine Steinlaterne bildeten den Blickfang der dargestellten Gebirgslandschaft, japanische Pflanzen und unterstützende Elemente vervollständigten den kleinen Garten.

Nach Beendigung der Gartenschau wurde der Garten als Geschenk in die Nähe des Eingangs am Auenweg verlegt und ein Stein mit der Inschrift "Geschenk der Stadt Kyoto" daneben platziert.

EN: On the occasion of the Federal Garden Show in 1971, the twin cities of Cologne (Liverpool, Kyoto, Tunis and Turku) were invited to exhibit their garden art in the exhibition halls, each around 30 square meters during the main exhibition from May 3rd to September 15th, 1971. The Kyoto Garden, for which three garden architects were responsible, was located in hall 7. 15 larger stone blocks, a lot of imported pebbles and a stone lantern formed the eye-catcher of the mountain landscape shown, Japanese plants and supporting elements completed the small garden.

After the garden show was over, the garden was moved as a gift near the entrance on the Auenweg and a stone with the inscription "Gift from the city of Kyoto" was placed next to it.
